On the other side, God has given language to the human being, he is intelligent and a good thinker. He can explain about his pains and searches his treatment through different paths. Due to his dissatisfaction on different paths he keeps on searching the new ways of treatments.People from different areas have different Life style and different food habits.

Food has sentimental, physical and mental relations in our lives. The type of food intake as per the weather conditions is the basis of life. The thinkers have given a deep thought about the type of diet one should have. A conclusion has been reached that the type of food taken during winter should be different from the one in summer. It has even been given a thought as to what type of food should be taken during the breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was concluded after deep thinking that the food duruing breakfast, lunch and dinner should be different from each other. The food intake is related to the observation of “Brahamcharya” also. With the arrival of summer the physical problem starts. The nature has blessed the human being with the preventive measures to be taken for preventing himself from the summer heat.During summer the liquid intake is beneficial. The right combination of food and liquid intake helps in overcoming the summer problems. The best drink is water. Still, to fulfill the deficiency of mineral and electrolytes, the drinks prepared with less sugar are also useful. In summers, the food with too much condiments, chocolates, alcohol, tea,coffee, vegetables full with oils and ghee etc. should be avoided. During this season at least 15 to 16 glasses of water should be taken. In addition, lichies (strawberry), water lemon, mango sattoo, lemon drinks, coconut water should be taken sufficiently. Also rose drinks, zeera, hing, curd, jamun and kheera are also useful.
